In the spirit of Halloween, the CrafterNews team asked some of our crafty authors for five things that terrified them. They could interpret “terrify” however they wanted. The first answers come from Anna Hrachovec, author of Super-Scary Mochimochi

We want to thank all of Ana’s fans who have blogged, tweeted, and Facebooked about The Handbuilt Home, as well as all of you who have already purchased your copies of the book. So we’re thanking you in the best way we know how—awesome prizes!

Do you ever look at the prepackaged costumes your kids have worn on Halloween and think, “I could have made that?” Never fear, the GeekMom bloggers are here! And they are ready to show you just how much fun you can have (and how much money you can save) by making simple costumes for your kids.
